Bear Form

How it works

Bear Form is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Bear Form.
  2. Effect 2 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Growl.
  3. Effect 3 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Maul.

What it does

Bear Form is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it teaches a spell. It also casts Bear Form (record #5487), Growl and Maul.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
